What is The Cleaner?

First off, The Cleaner is a detox supplement that has psyllium husks, goldenseal root, FOS probiotic growth complex, black walnut bark, dandelion root, apple pectin, oat bran, aloe vera gel, senna leaf, yellow dock root, Fibersol, bentonite, ginger root, soy fiber, cornsilk and peppermint leaf. [1][2] This one is available in four different formulas, two for women and two for men. The 7-day products are $17.95 each and the 14-day are $29.95. The purpose of The Cleaner is to detoxify the body, flush out waste and toxins, increase weight-loss, boost immune system health and minimize constipation and bloating/gas. Though you may not want to take this one on the go, the bottle is portable.

The Cleaner has been around since 2011 via Century Systems Inc. The supplements contain all sorts of natural plant extracts. You can purchase these products directly from the company website and there is a satisfaction guarantee provided, but read on…

Lack of Results – “Should You Worry?”

The first thing we noticed was a lack of results with The Cleaner ingredients. According to our Research Editor, “There are so many supplements that claim to cleanse the digestive system, blood and organs, but not many are backed by actual scientific studies. [3] The Cleaner is not supported by any real clinical facts. This is evident when looking at the customer feedback and official website.” [4]

One user stated, “Didn’t even make me burp, cleansed nothing here. Two thumbs down for this product.”

Another said, “Can I get a refund? Followed directions. Exercised 90 minutes every day. Lots of water. On 4th day. Same amount of BMs as before. Oh, but I gained 3 pounds.”

A satisfied customer said, “This job definitely does what is promised and that is clean.”

The Cleaner Side Effects – “Uh Oh”

Numerous customers experienced The Cleaner side effects while using the product. Here is what one said, “It made me sick I end up in Urgent care with bad allergy attack.”

“This product was hell on my body. I’m stopping on day 3 because of what it did to my stomach,” offered another user.

We also found a user who suggested dietary changes to reduce the risk of side effects. [5] She said, “If you start the cleanse, please…….only eat fruits and veggies.” [6]

We’ve gathered from our intense research that if there is a single aspect of a weight-loss program that is very problematic (no clinical studies, side effects, high price tag) the probability of real long-term success is rather minimal. This means if The Cleaner supplement does lead to adverse reactions in numerous people, this may be a serious issue.

The Science – “Validated With Research?”

After taking a close look at the official website for The Cleaner, it’s clear that no documented scientific studies are available for this product. Since us at DietSpotlight need to see published clinical evidence supporting weight-loss formulas and ingredients, we cannot stand behind this supplement.

The Bottom Line – Does The Cleaner Work?

Alrighty then, what’s the final take on this one ladies and gentlemen? It’s obvious that many dieters are looking for fast weight-loss results. The Cleaner is a product that is claimed to work in 1-2 weeks. However, since there is no real science to support this supplement, we have reservations about recommending it. You should also be aware that many customers complained of side effects like constipation and diarrhea while using it. [7]

Those who wish to slim down and shed pounds of fat more quickly, we suggest you try going with a weight-loss supplement that does not cause harmful side effects, contains proven ingredients and works well for the long term.

Among the best products we’ve seen in 2016 is one called Leptigen. Its formula is a blend of four key ingredients, which are proven in published clinical studies to help ignite metabolism and increase fat loss. Also, we can’t locate any discussion of negative side effects and dieter feedback posted online shows people are getting wonderful results.

Also, the company responsible for Leptigen is so confident in their supplement that they’re offering a Special Trial Offer, which is a good sign.

How Does The Cleaner Compare?

Previous The Cleaner Review (Updated November 18, 2014):

The Cleaner: What You Should Know

The Cleaner is a whole body cleanse supplement that offers different formulas for women and men. We could not find an official website for Century Systems, the creator of The Cleaner, but reliable information was available through a trusted online retailer. The Cleanser whole body cleanse is followed for 14 days, typical of most body cleansers.

Product Features

The Cleaner Men's and Women's formula are exactly the same. We cannot figure out why the company would produce two different labels for a product that offers no additional female or male support respectively. Proprietary blends are used in both cases and all mg are the same.
The list of ingredients is very common filled with fiber sources like Psyllium Husks, Oat Fiber, Soy Fiber and Apple Pectin. There are also a number of diuretics like Dandelion Root and Yellow Dock Root. Wormwood is supposed to cleanse parasites from the body and Aloe Vera is a mild laxative. Senna leaf is also a laxative.
In terms of cleansing the body, The Cleaner offers nothing more than a mild laxative and strong diuretic effect. The key behind most cleanses is to detox the body and then force the toxins out. In this light, The Cleaner is perfectly formulated. For weight loss, however, there are no benefits we could find from any of the listed ingredients.
The Cleaner sells for $29.99 for both men and women, not a surprise as they are the same formula. With no official website, other online vitamin shops are the only source of the supplement.

Advantages

Disadvantages

Cleansing the body will not result in lasting weight loss.

No official website.

Male and female formulas are the same.

Conclusion About the Cleaner

Some dieters feel they need to cleanse the body before starting a new diet. If cleansing is an option, following the cleanse with probiotics is important as natural laxatives can deplete good bacteria in the intestine and colon.

Over the years, it has become abundantly clear that the people who use The Cleaner want to share their experiences with others. After reading thousands of reviews and comments we put together some of the best tips to help you learn more about this product.

“DO NOT follow the recommended dosage or you will be in the bathroom for days.”Tala

“You need a lot of water to flush your body for it to get to thoroughly scrub your stomach, colon, and intestines. I only had slight cramps the first night because I didn’t drink a lot of water.”Jen

“I take two a day ONLY. You’ll still get the cleansing effect but it won’t be devastating.”Mike

“If you are not adhering to a proper diet and exercise don’t complain and say it’s not working.”Ned

“LITERALLY take a week off from school or work. You will be in the bathroom all day everyday while on these.”Jay

“Have extra soft toilet paper and baby wipes with moisturizers in it to take care of your cleaning needs.”Bill

“Seriously, start with 2 pills instead of the 4 pills. It’ll still work but probably just not as fast. It will prolong the experience but it will be way easier overall.”Laramie

The Cleaner claims to be the "Ultimate Body Detox." In order for this to be true, the ingredient list would have to offer something new or revolutionary. When you go to the FAQs section and click the question about what's in it, the answer doesn't give any details.

Other Ingredients: None

We looked into The Cleaner ingredients in order to give you the information you need.

Psyllium Husks

Psyllium husk[1] is a fiber derived from the seeds of Plantago ovata. It is water-soluble and can easily be made into a gel.

What Is It Supposed to Do?

Psyllium is commonly consumed through supplements as a laxative. However, it is also thought to have a beneficial effect on cholesterol, LDL, and glucose levels in the blood.

Clinical Research

According to the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, “…[black walnut has] favourable effect of various fibres and particularly of psyllium, on body weight reduction and satiety, on cholesterol and tryglycerides levels…” However, these effects were seen on patients who suffer from metabolic syndrome, so there is not any information on any other individuals’ possible weight-loss.

Goldenseal Root

Goldenseal root is a dried herb used in many herbal remedies and supplements. Some of its benefits are thought to be because of berberine, a chemical in the plant.

What Is It Supposed to Do?

Goldenseal root[2] is often consumed as a way to provide a false negative in drug tests, though it has been proven to be ineffective. Other uses include treatments for the common cold, skin infections, and eye inflammation.

Clinical Research

In an article written and posted by the University of Maryland Medical Center, goldenseal has scientific evidence of being effective as a treatment for immune system issues, respiratory problems, wounds, and infections. Significant research is not available on the statement that goldenseal could be a weight-loss agent or even an effective laxative.

Dandelion Root

Dandelion root is a weed that has become an important ingredient in many herbal supplements. It contains many vitamins and minerals, which can benefit overall health.

According to The Journals for Nurse Practitioners, the dandelion root is considered a “balanced diuretic” that can be “added [to] food [to] increase fiber and expand dietary plant base.” No evidence suggests that it can be used as a way to improve weight-loss.

Black Walnut Bark

The black walnut is native to North America. The bark of the tree it grows on is considered highly valuable, especially for its deep brown color.

What Is It Supposed to Do?

Some companies claim that black walnut can be consumed as a cure for cancer.

Clinical Research

According to an article published in WebMD, the black walnut’s medicinal effects are widely undocumented, which meant its potential thermogenic qualities are unknown.

We’ve looked high and low for the best supplement on the market. Our favorite is Leptigen. It works with ingredients that have been clinically shown to help boost metabolism, curb hunger and spark energy.

57 User Reviews About The Cleaner

It made me sick. Day 3 I stopped using the cleaner in the morning . I had a adomino pain, diarrhea, occasional chest pains I felt very weak and tired all the time. I’m 40 years old 180 pounds 6’0 and I go jogging three times a week. I will not take this product ever again.

This is not my first time using the Cleaner, it really works for me. It seems as if once I started getting older I start having problems going to the bathroom. So I went to the drug store looking for something mile that wouldn’t give me cramps. So I try the Cleaner and it works. I’ve noticed that my waist line has down size because I had to go to the 4th hole on my belt. So just like many of the other ladies if you use it right it does work.

I have tried The Cleaner about 3 times before. I purchased it at the Rite Aid Pharmacy. It worked alright and helped eliminate a lot of crammed up waste or toxins from my body. Some strange or weird stuff came from my urine, too. The Woman’s Cleaner Product might also help women who have problems vaginal yeast/bacterial vaginal infections because of the healthy probiotic as well as with bladder infections and GI tract issues. I have had these problems as well as gynecological issues with ovarian cyst and Mennorhiaga-metorrhaigia that have a linkage with heavy or prolonged bleeding.

I am a physique competitor and I use The Cleaner before starting my contest prep to detox from processed foods and sugar. First, this is NOT a diet supplement. It is a detox. Second, you MUST drink enough water. If you’re not eliminating then it’s probable that you’re not drinking enough water OR you are seriously backed up. Same with the cramping people mention–you may be dehydrated. Again you NEED to drink copious amounts of water (at least 32 oz with each dose). Now, the more water you drink and the more waste you have WILL have you spending a bit of time in the bathroom but it’s usually twice a day—the night dose kicks in in the AM, the AM dose kicks in at night (IF you’re drinking enough water). I try to time my doses with 8 hrs between so I can get my water in and give it a chance to start working before I leave the house. Once your stool gets liquid-y STOP or reduce the dosage. Finally, youre not supposed to take it for 14 days…Please read the bottle!! The 14 day bottle is for TWO 7-day cleanses! You’re only supposed to take it for 7 days. The stuff works when used as directed.

I understand that different products work differently depending on a variety of factors, but the Cleaner is working extremely well for me. No upsetting side effects, no problem carrying on with daily activities…for me this product is working exactly as advertised.

feeling very week and tired. And light headed at times I tried eating with it but it seems to make me just have to go right away I really want this to work properly but I can do t feeling this way. Also tend to feel nauseous at times

I have been taking the cleaner for 3 days although the it seems to be wonderful I’m constantly taking trips to the bathroom, it’s making me bleed badd I’ve never bled before I’m taking a toilet full of blood with every trip and clots!!! The odd thing tho it doesn’t hurt when I use the bathroom and I actually feel empty and good despite the blood helllpppp!!!! I don’t know what it could be I even stopped taking it on the morning of day two and I still had to run to the bathroom but no blood I then continued to take it and blood again

I am on my four day and I am also bleeding when I go to the bathroom and when I try to eat anything salad or fruit to have some food in me it comes right out. I need more information about what to or not to eat when doing the detox. I will stop to and call my doctor.

I am on day 5 of the Cleanser & thank goodness I’m off from work! Im having frequent trips to the bathroom with some pretty intense cramps at times. I feel exhausted & less hungry..not really craving anything either. Im curious how I feel when its finished.

I bought this product at the vitamin store for my daughter have heard people talk about it. She did the product for about 4 days. I decided to try it myself. It definitely works and keeps cleansing you daily. Be sure to drink the water, stay close to the restroom.

rhe first time I used this product I was fine this second time around it gave me pure hell I have the worst hunger pains & stomach cramps I actually vomited 3 times . I’ve been laying down in pain never again

I am currently using this. I have bowel issues and constipate rather quickly. I’m in the process of getting a referral to a gi doctor. Anyway the cleaner; let s see I think it works well BUT it hurts my stomach so badly. I feel like I’m having contractions and I don’t even have children yet but it’s bad. I get bad belly pain when I have food poisoning. I get so hot I think I’m going to pass out. This one isn’t as excruciating but it comes close. Being that I don’t poop as much as I should this product gets rid of alllllllll my stuff that was backed up. My stomach doesn’t look as big neither but the main point with this too is to eat better. Or else its pointless. Also exercise.

I was hopeful that this would be a great kick start to healthier eating. Within 3 days I could feel a difference in my energy level. It does what it says….it cleanses your system. If there’s cramping, skip a dose. Make healthy food choices and drink plenty water.

The cleanser worked wonders on me I think every one is getting confused on what exactly it does for the body it is not meant to be used as a weight loss supplement it is used to clean the body of toxins which in some cases can help on lose a few pounds from the removal of the waste. It will make you have bowel movements several times a day depending on your body; also it may cramp the stomach a little for it is removing all the junk that does not get digested and is sitting in you intestines and stomach colon and so on. If you want to lose weight then you need to change your diet and exercise.

I have no complaints, the cleaner works very well. What consumers do not realize is that it’s designed to cleanse your body it’s not for weight loss. It’s states possible leaf weight loss with eliminating all the waste. You are also suppose to change your diet while taking the cleaner. You cannot eat or should not eat any processed foods.. to many people seek supplements for weight loss….go the he gym .Basically if your seeking weight loss this is not for you.

It’s a great all natural product. Keep in mind that it is for detoxification not for weight loss. I lost weight by exercising and eating right. Once I was close to my ideal weight I used The Cleaner and I lost a few more waste pounds. Once again, this is not for losing a whole lot of weight! You also have to change your eating habits. You can’t eat junk food and try to cleanse at the same time, it doesn’t match. Eating junk food will also make you sick while using this product, this is where the side effects come into play. I’ve never had a problem with this product, and don’t mind using it again.

This product works great. I was having horrible gas, bloating and felt terrible. It was so bad my husband told me I needed a cleanse. I didn’t have one in mind however the sales person suggested the cleaner. I took it exactly how it stated and drank lots of water. I could night believe the amount of bowel movements and the smell. No wonder my husband stopped sleeping with me. This product works if you need a cleanse. I give it twenty stars. My husband wants to take the cleanse. 5 stars

I had parasites and slight candida….I have been using the Lady Soma Candida Cleanse – I first took 6 pills right away – WORMS GONE. I noticed when I elimated alot of dead worms and those round like parasites…..they are also super gentle on my system. I didnt even use the whole Lady Soma bottle…i still have it in my drawer cause it cleared me up right away….

I just started using The Cleaner. I believe it works. As instructed, you should drink plenty of water (as with any detoxing). You will have to use the restroom often, so beware. I am committed to exercising, so it has not impacted my routine. If you are on medication, it is ALWAYS BEST TO CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR FIRST. This is only a website blog.

I started the cleaner on a Thursday night by Saturday I eliminated 6xs I did not like the color of my stool but it was 20 years since I took any laxative. Today is Sunday my stool started to become watery so I reduce to 2 pills in the AM. I weigh in and measured. Great results my only concern is the color of the stool.

This product works great. Anyone who had no success with it is either way too toxic, way too fat looking for a miracle flush, or needs serious medical attention, or is not drinking enough room temp water with a squirt of lemon.

I am completely astonished by these reviews, because this detox worked wonders for me. IF YOU USE IT THE WAY THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY.. It gave me a great start on my diet, I eliminated so much waste including visible parasites. I COULDN’T BELIEVE MY EYES!! I even took a picture to show my family and friends, to recommend they try it just in case they had parasites lingering in their body. If you do decide to try this product for yourself, don’t b afraid to examine your feces closely you may be surprised.

I have bought the product and am ready to use. Mt question is will it impede the pain medication I take due to a surgically repaired back? My doctor said to ask you if it will remove all medications from my system if I take it since I must take the pain medications daily.

I used this product and it worked amazingly for me. When I took it the first day, I saw nothing but each day afterwards, I saw a lot of parasites coming out of me. I would recommend drinking lots of water when using this product. In fact, I went on a fast for a couple of days, and I shed a lot of weight. I would recommend staying close to a bathroom when using it, trust me, you’re gonna need one. On the 7th day I was totally grossed out by what came out… But cravings were gone, I felt lighter, and better than before. I don’t know what these other people are doing when they took this. Maybe they’re still eating hot dogs wings and soda, but I would recommend to eat a more plant based diet, juice, or drink smoothies. I would definitely recommend this for anyone trying to get a jump on correcting their health.

I have tried The Cleaner and now I’m doing it again in 2014. This stuff really works! Be aware…you will constantly have to go to the bathroom and you will need to drink the recommend amount of water that is suggested. If you have any pains or watery stools, do not use this product because it does contain Senna and other dietary fibers. You can lose pounds from these pills and do your normal routine but if you are trying to diet or be more healthy, you will need to change your eating habits and exercise. Overall, I will recommend this product to any adult who wants to be for healthy. I told my husband and he also likes this product as well.

I used this product and OMG IT WORKS! I was a little taken back about having to take 8 pills a day but it worked! I’ve taken a high amount of healthy bathroom runs and was astonished when i actually saw PARASITES IN MY poo. It still amazes me and I’ve recommended it to all my friends and family. I feel so healthy and clean now and have lost inches off my stomach. It’s awesome! For sure try and make sure to drink a lot of water!

Does it balance female hormones like it proclaims for the”hers”. I just purchased a 14 day cleanse and am ready to start as I have been fighting endometriosis for 6 months. I don’t like traditional medicine and am looking to clean my pallet and start on herbal and natural remedies to win this battle. Anyone else use it for this purpose?
